Who is Amsterdam, really? This book presents the Dutch capital as experienced by the residents themselves. Many who call Amsterdam home – especially those most often pushed to the margins – translate their experiences into maps, drawings, photos, and graphics. You’ll see streets you’ve not yet walked down, far beyond the historical centre, through the eyes of people you may not have met, but who could be your neighbours. These pages illustrate unsung neighbourhoods, subjective mundanities, vital criticism, and declarations of love, creating a nuanced collection that captures something difficult to quantify or make tangible: how cultures shape a city. Initiated by the Architecture Centre of Amsterdam (Arcam), this book, and the plural realities within it, reflect on how to make the city a better place, for everyone.

The book presents contrasting contemporary and historical statements and stories about the Bauhaus world heritage.

Summary:
When art takes its inspiration from correctional facilities. This book is the result of an international collective project in which the artists were asked to reflect on the architecture of seclusion, in search of different ways of documenting the institutional spaces intended to punish and, at times, to improve the individuals by their separation from the rest of society. Prisons, mental hospitals, and other corrective institutions are constantly developing—ideologically, structurally, and architecturally—enclosing entire stories of violence and resistance. But how is a confinement space conceived? How can it be reported? The artists reflect on places of constriction, correction, and isolation whose functional mechanisms remain behind the visible, aided by a space-time line that separates them from the life outside.

Price:

Summary:
Accounts of decolonization routinely neglect Indigenous societies, yet Native communities have made unique contributions to anticolonial thought and activism. ''Remapping sovereignty'' examines how twentieth-century Indigenous activists in North America debated questions of decolonization and self-determination, developing distinctive conceptual approaches that both resonate with and reformulate key strands in other civil rights and global decolonization movements. In contrast to decolonization projects that envisioned liberation through state sovereignty, Indigenous theorists emphasized the self-determination of peoples against sovereign state supremacy and articulated a visionary politics of decolonization as earthmaking. Temin traces the interplay between anticolonial thought and practice across key thinkers, interweaving history and textual analysis. He shows how these insights broaden the political and intellectual horizons open to us today.

There are few better case studies of architecture's role in the retrenchment and dismantling of the welfare state than Sweden, the birthplace of the world-famous "Swedish Model" and now home to Europe's fastest-growing inequality. Through eight in-depth architectural case studies, Helena Mattsson analyzes how neoliberalism has created conditions for a new built environment which was once closely integral to the welfare system, examining how new architectural strategies and techniques were developed in order to protect the agency of architecture in a newly re-organised society, and revealing the role of architecture in creating new types of segregation, discrimination, and social stratification.

The words range from prosaic to esoteric, extending from the meteorological (mukaame, or “very fine rain that falls in spring”) to the mystical (bunryuu, or “rain that splits a dragon's body in half”) and from the minute (kisame, or “raindrops that fall off the leaves and branches of trees”) to the vast (takuu, or “blessed rain that quenches all things in the universe”).

Recounting the author’s reflections on simple living after a period he spent in a small cabin he built near Walden Pond, the book places Thoreau firmly in his role as cultural and spiritual seer. Bill McKibben offers both an intelligent and captivating introduction and a body of insightful annotations to Thoreau’s original edition. He addresses two philosophical questions posed by Thoreau: "How much is enough?" and, "How do I know what I want?", to draw meaningful connections between Thoreau’s writing and our lived experience in the 21st century.
